'HE main purpose of this pamphlet is
to record the genealogical history
of Eliab Alden of Middleborough,
Massachusetts, and of Cairo, New
York, and of his descendants, of
whom none, it is believed, have been omitted.

The data for this history have been gathered
from records in the Bible of Mary (Hathaway)
Alden, Eliab's wife, from personal letters from
the individuals mentioned, when still living, or
from their immediate relatives cognizant of the
facts, and from the compiler's own knowledge.
In some cases an authority has been given, but
generally it has been considered unnecessary.

To this history a brief account of Eliab's four
Alden ancestors and their immediate families is
prefixed, to connect him with John the Pilgrim,
and as a matter of interest to readers not familiar
with the subject. This account is based on such
authorities as were immediately available, original
research not being practicable nor deemed essen-
tial to the present purpose.

4 Introductory

The works consulted were Governor Bradford's
" History of Plimoth Plantation," Davis' " History
of Plymouth," Goodwin's " Pilgrim Republic,"
Thayer's " Genealogy of Fourteen Families," Dr.
Ebenezer Alden's " Memorial," and two recent
partial Alden genealogies, — " The Ancestors and
Descendants of Isaac Alden and Irene Smith," by
Mrs. H. C. Fielding of East Orange, New Jersey,
1903 ; and " The Descendants of Polly and Eben-
ezer Alden," by Ebenezer Alden and Dr. Henry
Shaw, 1903. The latter contains much of interest
about the earlier Aldens, the first four ancestors
being common to Ebenezer and Eliab, and gives
the text of old documents not previously pub-
lished, inscriptions on gravestones, etc. It has
been drawn on freely by the present writer.

The files of the " Mayflower Descendant,"
George Ernest Bowman, editor, have been par-
ticularly useful, as they give exact transcripts of
original wills, deeds and other papers relating to
the early Aldens.

In the N. E. Historical and Genealogical Reg-
ister of recent years are to be found many con-
tributions to the genealogy of the Alden family,
by Mrs. C. L. Alden of Troy, N. Y.

The lack or incompleteness of early records
is much to be regretted, yet is not surprising.
There must have been little opportunity, in the
hard struggle for existence by the Pilgrims, for

Introductory 5

careful note of current events and genealogical
data. Nor was exactness always observed in the
records made. Proper names were often spelled
variously. The gravestone of Hannah, wife of
John' Alden, next to her husband's, gives her
last name as "Allden," and ten other ways of
spelling "Alden" have been noted. This want
of exactness may have extended to statements
of age, and perhaps accounts for some puzzling
discrepancies.

The dates given in these pages are, to avoid
confusion, all reduced to " New Style." It may
be of interest to note that the new style of reckon-
ing time went into official use in 1752, by Act
of Parliament, which required that eleven days
should be added to the current date and that the
year should begin January ist, instead of March
25th, the date of beginning up to that time. The
English calendar was thus made to correspond
with that already adopted by all other countries
except Russia. Ten days, not eleven, is the num-
ber to be added in early colonial times, from 1620
to 1700. Anticipating the change in the begin-
ning of the year, it had been the practice for some
years previous to 1752, to give the dates between
January istand March 24th, thus, Feb. 10, 1701/2
or 1701-2.

The small number above and to the right of
the given name indicates the generation, John the
Pilgrim being John'.

6 Introductory

An index of names, including those of persons
who married or who descended from an Alden is
appended, and also one of places.

The compiler is indebted to Mr. George Ernest
Bowman for valuable suggestions, and to Mr.
John Alden Spoor for sharing the expense of
publication.

THE ALDEN ANCESTORS

OF

ELIAB ALDEN

FIRST GENERATION

OHN' ALDEN, the " Pilgrim," was
born about 1599, probably in Eng-
land, though his history prior to his
joining the Mayflower company at
Southampton in August, 1620, is as
yet unknown. The year of his birth is inferred
from a deposition made at Plymouth, July 6,
1682, in which he stated he was then aged 83.
He was one of the signers of the " Compact "
on board the Mayflower at Cape Cod, Novem-
ber 21. 1620, and landed with the other pas-
sengers at Plymouth in December.

Governor Bradford, in his " History of Plimoth
Plantation " wrote : — " John Alden was hired for
a cooper, at South Hampton whcr the fliip vie-

10 The Alden AiKe stars

tuled ; and being a hopfull yong man, was much
defired, but left to his own Hking to go or ftay
when he came here ; but he flayed and maryed
here."

It may be that John Alden joined the Pilgrims
from love of adventure, and that, as Goodwin in
his " Pilgrim Republic," page 566, suggests, Pris-
cilla Mullins was the chief inducement for him
to remain ; but whatever his motive at first, he
early identified himself with them and through a
long life was a devoted and useful member of the
colony. For forty- three years he was a Gover-
nor's Assistant, being at times First Assistant
and Deputy Governor ; for thirteen years he was
Treasurer of the Colony, and for eight years
Deputy to the General Court, sometimes filling
several offices at once. He was a member
of the Council of War of the Colony for eight
years.

About 1623 he married Priscilla, daughter of

William and Alice ( ) Mullins, who with this

daughter and young son Joseph had joined the
Pilgrims at Southampton. William Mullins died
March 3, 162 i, and his wife and son shortly after,
during the sickness which proved fatal to half the
Colony, the first winter and spring.

Some interesting facts about the Mullins family
are known. William Mullins made a will just
before he died, which was sent back to England

Of Eliab Alden il

by the Mayflower on her return, to be probated
at Dorking, in the County of Surrey, his former
residence. This will shows that the testator had
left behind in England a son, William Mullins,
Jr., and a married daughter, Sarah Blunden, and
provides " Allsoe if my sonne William will come
to Virginia, I give him my share of land." After
his father's death, William Mullins, Jr., came to
this country with his daughter Sarah, and resided
in Duxbury. Sarah, who was born about 1621,
married successively Thomas Gannett of Dux-
bury, William Saville and Thomas Faxon, both
of Braintree, surviving her last husband seven-
teen years. Her father died in Braintree, Feb-
ruary 12, 1673. ("Mayflower Descendant," Vol.
I, page 230: Vol. VII, pages 37 and 179.)

After a few years, to obtain more land, John
Alden, with Capt. Myles Standish and others,
moved a few miles northward from Plymouth and
founded Duxbury. Part at least of his land is
still owned by Aldens and the site of his well is
pointed out, near the "Old Alden House" built
by one of his early descendants and still occupied
by a late one.

He died in Duxbury, September 22, 1687, but
it is not known where or when Priscilla died nor
where either of them is buried. Goodwin in " The
Pilgrim Republic," page 542, says that they were
both present at the burial of Josiah Winslow, in
1 680, but gives no authority. John's Bible and

12 The Alden Ames tors

several documents with his signature are pre-
served in Pilgrim Hall at Plymouth.

John Alden left no will, having, it is supposed,
distributed his real estate while still living, but
an inventory of other property and the settlement
of his estate by his son Jonathan, the adminis-
trator, dated June 13, 1688, are recorded in
Plymouth. They are transcribed in " Mayflower
Descendant," Vol. Ill, page 10.

Bradford, in his History already quoted, wrote,
thirty years after the landing of John and Pris-
cilla, "who are both living and have 1 1 children."
Owing to lack of early records, the exact date
and order of birth of these children, and even
the names of several, are in doubt and can only
be inferred from collateral data. The following
list is believed to be as complete as can be made
at present : —

i. Elizabeth, born about 1624, as she died May
31, 1717, in the 93rd year of her age. Slie
married in 1644, William Paybody of Little
Compton, R. I., and was an ancestor of
Henry W. Longfellow.
ii. John, the "Captain," mariner of Boston, born
about 1626, as his gravestone gives age
as 75 at his death March 14, 1702. He

married i. Elizabeth ; 2. Elizabeth

Phillips, widow of Abiel Everell.
iii. Joseph, born probably in 1627, and after the
division ot cattle on June ist, as he is not

Of Eliab Alden 13

mentioned in the list with his elder sister
and brother; died February 8, 1697. He
married Mary Simmons and was the great
grandfather of Eliab Alden of Cairo.

iv. Sarah, born about 1629, died before June,
1688. She married Alexander Standish, of
Duxbury, son of Captain Myles Standish.

V. Jonathan, born about 1632, as his gravestone
states that he died February 14, 1697, in
the 65th year of his age ; Captain in the
Militia. He administered on and inherited
his father's estate in Duxbury. He married
Abigail Hallett.

vi. Ruth, born 16 — , died October 12, 1674. She
married, 1657, John Bass of Braintree, and
was an ancestor of John Adams and John
Quincy Adams.

vii. Mary, born 16 — , married, it is generally stated,
Dr. Thomas Delano, or De la Noye, of Dux-
bury, and died before 1699, when her hus-
band married a second wife, though there
is no record to prove that Delano's wife was
named Mary. ("Mayflower Descendant,"
Vol. VI, page 22.)
viii. David, born 1646, died 17 19, married Constant
Southworth. He was active in church and
public affairs in Duxbury. He is believed
to have been the last born of the children
of John and Priscilla.

At some dates prior to 1646, the following
children, it is surmised, may have been born,

14 The Allien Ancestors

completing the number eleven. Of these very
little is known : —

ix. Zachariah. Mitchell states that Anna Alden
who married Josiah Snell in 1699, was a
daughter of Zachariah, who, through her,
was an ancestor of William CuUen Bryant.

X. Rebecca, mentioned in colonial records as of
marriageable age in 1661, and therefore
probably a daughter of John'.

xi. Priscilla, signed settlement of estate of John',
but it is doubtful whether she was the widow
or a daughter.

SECOND GENERATION

Joseph Alden, son of John' and Priscilla (Mul-
lins) Alclcn, farmer, was born in Plymouth about
1627. He was one of the early settlers of Bridge-
water in 1654, on the land granted to his father
which lay near the Historical Society's building
in the present town of West Bridgewater. He
married Mary, daughter of Moses and Sarah

( ) Simmons, or Symonsen, Moses having

come from England in the ship Fortune in
1621.

Joseph died in Bridgewater, February 8, 1697.
The ground where he was probably buried is
known, but the grave is not marked. Copies of
his will and of the inventory of his estate are

Of Eliab Aldcn 15

preserved in the Plymouth probate records, his
wife and son John being named executors. The
will, etc., are transcribed in " Mayflower Descend-
ant," Vol. VI, page 71.

According to a genealogical letter written by
John"* Alden in 1801, his grandfather Joseph' had
three sons and three daughters, and two of the
daughters married Snows of Weymouth. (Letter
given in " Mayflower Descendant," Vol. VI, page
1 10.) The list is as follows, the sons in the order
given in the will.

i. Isaac, born 16 — , died December 2, 1685,
farmer, of Bridgewater, married Mehitable
Allen.

ii. Joseph, born 1667, died December 22, 1747,
farmer, of Bridgewater, married Hannah
Dunham .

iii. John, born 1674, died September 29, 1730,
farmer, of Middleborough, married Hannah
White. He was grandfather of Eliabs Alden .

iv. Elizabeth, born 167-, died 1705, married Ben-
jamin Snow of Bridgewater.

V. Mercy, born 16 — , died , married John

Burrill of Weymouth.
And probably

vi. HoPESTiLL, who married Joseph Snow of
Bridgewater, though the latter marriage has
not been proved. ("Mayflower Descend-
ant," Vol. VI, page no.)

THIRD GENERATION

John Aluen, son of Joseph^ and Mary (Sim-
mons) Alden, farmer, was born in 1674, and re-
moved about 1700 from Bridgewater to Middle-
borough, being one of the twenty-six purchasers
of the land from the Indians. The cellar of his
house is a few rods north of the road from North
Middleborough to Middleborough. (" Descend-
ants of Polly and Ebenezer Alden," page 12.)
He married Hannah, daughter of Capt. Ebenezer
and Hannah (Phillips) White of Weymouth.
Ebenezer was son of Thomas White, one of the
earliest settlers of that town.

John died at Middleborough, September 29,
1730, and his will and the inventory of his es-
tate are recorded in Plymouth, the wife and son
David being executors. This will, besides dis-
posing of real and personal estate, directs " that
there be a piece of land left for a Burying place,"
"to be perpetually reserved for that use," also
" that my son Noah be brought up to learning
at the colledge " and that certain land be sold
" to defray the charge thereof," and bequeaths
his negro man to his wife. This will is copied
in "Descendants of Polly and Ebenezer Alden"
page 1 2 ,

The burying ground referred to in John's will,
now called the " Purchade " cemetery, from a local

Of Eliah Alden 17

Indian name, is situated on Plymouth street, North
Middleborough. With many other Aldens, John
and Hannah lie buried there, their headstones
bearing these inscriptions, as given in " Descend-
ants of Polly and Ebenezer Alden," page 19 : —

FOURTH GENERATION

Joseph Alden, son of John^ and Hannah (White)
Alden , farmer, was born September i i , 1716, prob-
ably in Middleborough, and resided there. Ac-
cording to " Descendants of Polly and Ebenezer
Alden," page 22, tradition says that he lived in
a house still standing on Centre Street, North
Middleborough, very near the village, and the
second on the left beyond the Colonel Eaton
place.

He married, April i, 1742, Hannah, daughter
of Samuel and Mercy (Willis) Hall of Raynham,
born 17 18, a descendant of George Hall, one of
the early settlers of Taunton. She died July i,
1766, and Joseph then married, September 3,

Joseph died January 26, 1787, and with his

where their headstones, according to " Descend-
ants of Polly and Ebenezer Alden," pages 19 and
20, read as follows : —

In the Probate records at Plymouth may be
found Joseph's appointment as administrator, and
the settlement of the estate of his son Ebenezer,
who died in 1773, and later the settlement of
Joseph's own estate by his son Abner.

Joseph"* and his wife Hannah had eleven chil-
dren.

i. Ebenezer, born February 4, 1743, died Janu-

their descendants.

epidemic of what was then called "black

vii. Fear, born May 2, 1753, died March 29, 1842.

She married Lewis Hall of Raynham.
viii. Eunice, date of birth and death not known.

xi. Lois, born 1761 or 2, died November 3, 1836,
aged 75 years, according to " Descendants
of Polly and Ebenezer Alden," page 49.
Her name there appears in the order of
births given in the genealogical letter of
John'' Alden. If that order, which is also
followed here, is correct, then Lois must
have been born several years before the date
given, 1 76 1 or 2, in the period of five years
between the births of Fear and Abner.
X. Abner, born about 1758, as his gravestone,
seen 1904, in Bristol, R. L, reads " Died Aug.
26, 1820, Aged 62." He was unmarried.
He was graduated at Brown University with
degree of A. B. in 1787, and received that
of A. M. in 1790; a teacher, at Greenwich
and Bristol, R. L, and author of Columbian
scries of school books in four volumes.
(Brown University Records.)

xi. Eliab. The exact date of his birth is unknown.
It is not given in the Middlcborough Town
Records. His wife's Bible gives it as March
24, 1 760, but the date has been altered from

Of Eliab Alden 21

March 29, 1 76 1 , as it originally stood. Eliab's
gravestone in Cairo reads simply " Died 1844
aged 84," without giving month or day of
death, which was March 14, 1844. A letter
from Eliab to his sister, Mrs. Fear Hall of
Raynham (letter given later), dated Cairo,
August 18, 1843, states he was then 82
years old.

ELIAB^ ALDEN

AND HIS DESCENDANTS.

LIAB' ALDEN, son of Joseph' and
Hannah (Hall) Alden, was born
in Middleborough, Massachusetts,
March 24 or 29, 1760 or 1761.
(See last paragraph of Part First.)
It is not unlikely that his birth occurred in the
house mentioned in the account of his father
as having been occupied by the latter and still
standing.

The records of the Pension Bureau at Wash-
ington show that Eliab, in January, 1776, and
therefore before he was fifteen or sixteen years
of age, volunteered as a private in Colonel Ward's
Massachusetts Regiment, and served one year,
during which he was present and participated in
the battles of Long Island and White Plains,

26 EHab Alden

N. Y.; that in the winter of 1778 he served for
three months in Colonel Sproat's Massachusetts
Regiment, and in July, 1779, he volunteered for
nine months in Colonel Brewer's Massachusetts
Regiment, serving out his term ; that still later he
served two months in Captain Washburn's Com-
pany, Massachusetts Militia, guarding the crew
of the British Brig Somerset, who were prisoners.

In May and September, 1778, it appears from
the Massachusetts Revolutionary rolls, he served
as private in Colonel Sproutt's Regiment, in the
"Alarm" at Dartmouth, Massachusetts, and the
pay roll of this service, dated Middleborough,
October 12, 1779, gives his name and descrip-
tion, "Age 18; height 5 ft. 10 in.; complexion
light." Whether his age was 18 at date of ser-
vice or of roll is not stated. Eliab had therefore
two years and two months* Revolutionary service,
not counting that as " Minute Man."

On the 6th of March, 1782, at Middleborough,
he married Mary, daughter of Levi and Mary
(Robinson) Hathaway of Taunton. She was
born in Taunton July 3, 1766, and was de-
scended from Nicholas Hathaway, one of the
early settlers of Taunton, who came to New Eng-
land in 1638. Her father, Levi, was a Minute
man, serving in several "Alarms" during the
Revolution, and her grandfather, John Hathaway,
was Colonel of the 2nd Massachusetts Militia, in
service from 1777 to 1780. Through her mother,

And his Descendants 27

Mary Robinson, she was a descendant of Increase
Robinson, also an early settler of Taunton, whose
father William came to Dorchester in 1637. Mary
(Hathaway) Alden's Bible, an edition printed in
1 82 1, gives dates of the birth, marriage, and in
some cases, of the death of her children.

Eliab was still in Middleborough in August,
1789, for on the 29th of that month, Deborah
Alden, second wife and widow of his father
Joseph, made to his brother Abner and himself
"both of Middleboro aforesaid, yeomen," and to
her other step-children and step-grandchildren, a
quit-claim deed of her right of dower in the estate
of her husband Joseph. " Descendants of Polly
and Ebenezer Alden," page 23, gives text of this
document.

About 1792, Eliab appears to have moved to
Wareham, Massachusetts, where his third child,
Levi Hathaway, was born. Then prior to 1798,
judging from the place of birth of his next two
children, he moved to East Windsor, Connecti-
cut, and finally, about 1802, to Cairo, Greene
County, New York. Tradition says that he was
led to go to Cairo by the fact that his wife's
brother Levi Hathaway, a physician, was in prac-
tice there.

In Cairo Eliab settled permanently as a farmer.
After what must have been, from the stony char-
acter of the land, a hard struggle, he acquired
considerable property, and a substantial home-

28 Eliab Alden

stead. This house is still standini^ about a mile
from Cairo on the main road to Catskill.

Eliab Alden died at Cairo, March 14, 1844, and
his wife, Mary, May 20, 1859, at the same place.
They were both buried at Cairo, the following
being the inscriptions on their headstones : —

Eliab Alden, died 1844, aged 84 years.

Mary Hathaway, wife of Eliab Alden

born July 3, 1766.

died May 20, 1859.

Eliab's will is recorded in the office of the
County Clerk, at Catskill, his son Levi Hatha-
way being executor.

Eliab' and Mary (Hathaway) Alden had six chil-
dren, whose history will be found under " Sixth
Generation." They were as follows :

i. Eliab. iv. Charles Henry.

ii, Abner. v. Mary.

iii. Levi Hathaway. vi. Joseph.

The original of the following interesting letter,
written not long before Eliab's death, is in the
possession of Mrs. H. K. Bradford of Wakefield,
Mass., a great-granddaughter of Fear (Alden)
Hall, who had died, it seems, more than a year
before its date.

Cairo, August 8, 1843.
My Dear Sister,

I make use of my son Joseph's hand to write, as I am too

old to do much more writing myself. I am eighty-two years

A7id his Descendants 29

old. I find my strength gradually decaying. I am, however,

able to be about and my appetite is tolerably good. I do not

expect to live a great while longer. My wife is seventy-seven

and is able to be about and see to her work. We live alone,

except a grandson about five years old. My son Eliab lives

a few rods from my house. Levi lives sixteen miles off.

Charles is Chaplain in the Navy and is in Europe. My

daughter died about four years ago. She left two children,

the youngest lives with us. Joseph is a Professor in Williams

College in your State. I wish to hear from you and hope

you will write as soon as you get this. Tell me about the

old people you think I would like to know about, and don't

forget to tell me your age. I have property enough to make

me comfortable and my children are all doing well. I do

not expect to come down to the East again. It is not likely

we shall meet again on earth. O may we meet in heaven.

Remember us to your family and to any that may inquire

for us. Don't forget to write soon for I want to hear from

you once more.

Your affectionate brother,

Eliac Alden.

SIXTH GENERATION

Eliab Alden, eldest child of Eliab^ and Mary
(Hathaway) Alden, was born, according- to his
mother's Bible record, at Middleborough, Massa-

30 Eliab Alden

chusetts, December 9, 1785. He accompanied
his father to Cairo, New York, in 1802, and when
